I've decided to name my chapters because it is easier! Enjoy C=
School
The grey wolf snarled in reply to Seth's statement, and looked directly at me. I suddenly felt afraid which I haven't been in ages. The grey wolf launched its self at me; I darted out of the way just in time. 'Paul' landed in a crouched position and turned to face me again. He crouched his back legs and was about to attack me again. I had never fought a wolf -or shape shifter- before. They can't be much stronger than me? Could they? Are they?
"RUN!" I heard Seth yell, but I wasn't listening. I was too busy concentrating on Paul, he was snarling at me but his eyes were darting all over the place, as if unsure whether or not he should attack. Paul was confused. "LISA!" Seth screamed that I heard. I got up and looked at Seth who was now in his wolf form, he was snarling at Paul. Paul was bigger and more threatening than Seth, but there was something about Seth's appearance that made him ten times more threatening, it was his eyes. They were the eyes of a protector, a warrior, a hero. I knew then that Seth would be fine, but I did what he asked and took off running. Twigs from trees and bits of dirt were attacking me, but I felt none of it, it felt nothing. I had to be running faster than Edward could, because I arrived at the Cullen's house in record time- even for a Vampire.
The Cullen's knew something was wrong, because all of them were suddenly outside, Edward being the first closely followed by Jasper and Carlisle. I let my guard down for a millisecond so that Edward could see what had happened, and he suddenly took off in the direction I came from with Jasper and now Emmett closely behind him, all three eager to fight. Esme came up to me and took me in her arms; I welcomed her embrace but still wished it was Seth's. "It's going to be ok," I heard Esme whisper into my ear, too low for the others to hear. I nodded and she led me into the house. I refused to sit down when we reached the sitting room, I started pacing the room. I couldn't help but imaging the terrible scenarios of what Seth's encounter with Paul could result to. I don't know how long I was pacing the room, but eventually I heard four bodies return and a strong smell of blood. I felt four pairs of eyes suddenly upon me. I didn't need to feed, I wasn't thirsty, all I knew was that Seth was hurt. I ran out of the sitting room -not at human pace- and made it into the front door-way. I place my hands on the door-way to steady myself as I came to a halt. There was Seth, being supported be both Emmett and Jasper. Edward was already inside the house, talking very fast and low to Carlisle. I ran out of the door-way and into Seth's open arms, as Jasper and Emmett let him go.
"I…I thought-" but my voice just went and was lost in the sound of Seth's heavy breathing. I felt him run his hand up and down my back reassuringly. "It's ok! I'm fine," he mumbled into my hair. Seth had broken his right leg in three different places and had dislocated his shoulder. Carlisle had checked him out and Seth was bound to make a full recovery. Edward told Carlisle the thought of Paul, I overheard their conversation and Paul was angry that Seth had imprinted on a Vampire, also known as me. I felt so responsible for what happened to Seth, it was eating me up inside.
Seth was in a bed in one of the many guest rooms in the Cullen's house, Carlisle suggested that Seth stay the night here, just to let the atmosphere 'cool' down a bit in La Push and amongst the Pack. He looked so broken when he came back at first but now he was back to normal, just his usual sexy self. We lay there staring at the celling of the guest room, our heads were slightly touching and we were laying on our backs-telling each other about ourselves. Within a couple of hours he knew all my secrets: about my mother, Bryan, my 'innocent sanctuary'. And I knew everything about him likewise: from his Dad's friend Charlie Swan to why his sister is so sour. We could talk to each other as if we had been brought up together, it was amazing. After a couple of hours Seth fell asleep, I got up quietly and shut the door as I left.
I made my way down the stairs and saw that Alice was packing a bag with books. This was kind of unusual. I made my way over to her.
"Going somewhere where you need third level Biology?" I asked sarcastically, picking up the first text book I saw.
"School silly!" she giggled magically.
"Is that another one of those Voluore rules?" I asked with distaste. She laughed again; I really hated the thought of having to go to school.
"Volturi, and no-we just go so we can fit in better," she explained eyeing me slightly. I knew exactly where this was going.
"You guys have enrolled me in school for this semester, haven't you?" I asked, but I already knew the answer. I sighed loudly, "Ugh Alice! Why?"
"Oh come on! It will be fun, besides you can sit with us at lunch because we're not in any of your classes, we enrolled you as a 1st year. (A/N I don't know the schooling system in America so until somebody hopefully explains your stuck with the Irish system...) So we have a long way to go before we have to move again," she smiled at me, her smile was so perfect and innocent, it was hard to be angry with her.
"Okay fine! When does class start?" I sighed not really caring.
"Em…three hours," she smiled. Great!
"Yay, three hours of freedom left," I said sarcastically. "Oh come on, it will be fun, you'll see! You might even make some friends!"
"Can't wait," I sighed. Two and quarter hours passed in a blink and the next thing I knew I was in the back of Edwards silver Volvo, beside Alice. Jasper was in the passenger seat and Edward was driving. Rosalie and Emmet were in Rosalie's red SUV. Edward drives so fast we made it to Forks High School in record time. It was the middle of the semester, which sucked and I was going to be on my own, which actually sucked harder bearing in mind I had been alone most of my life. Edward pulled into a vacant parking space beside Rosalie's car. I reluctantly got out, it was a dark over-cast day and there was light rain that day-perfect day for a Vampire.
"What took you guys so long?" joked Emmet. Edward glared at him playfully. As I came into view of the other students, I realised they were all staring at me. It made me slightly more self-conscious.
"What is everyone staring at?" I asked Edward so low nobody else would be able to hear me.
"Well, getting stares from people isn't uncommon for us as most of us are remarkably good-looking," I could almost hear the smirk upon his face. I nudged him playfully, he seemed unbothered by it, but it would have broken several ribs in a human. "But I will admit, they all think that you are exceptionally beautiful, besides we have already been here for a while so our effect has worn slightly," I laughed at his last comment. I swung my bag over my shoulder and followed the Cullen's into the reception. Alice spoke to the lady at the desk, she soon returned with my time-table.
"Ok first you have Biology, in Lab 8, and since you are in first year most of your classmates will be in the same classes as you. Just relax, take an unnecessary deep breath, and have fun," she smiled at me and gave me a hug. I hugged her back easily as she was pretty small. Edward pointed me in the direction of Lab 8 and told me my locker was. It was just down the hall, number 209. I easily found the locker and used the combination Alice had given me.
29, 11, 3, 7. I tried the combination, but it didn't work. I tried again and once again, the locker wouldn't open. I didn't want to make a scene and break the locker so I just sighed in frustration.
"Need a hand there?" asked a deep voice I didn't recognise. I looked up and saw a tall boy about my age, with dark hair and blue eyes. He was pretty good-looking so I smiled at him.
"Eh-yeah I think it's stuck," I explained to the stranger. He bent down to the lock put his hand out for the combination, which I wilfully gave to him.
"You see there's a knack to it, you kind of have to push u-there you go!" he declared as my locker door swung open, he handed me back my combination code.
"Thanks," I smiled at him, picked up my bag and began to put my books into my locker.
"I'm John, by the way," he told me but trailed off slightly, he was so cute.
"I'm Lisa," I smiled at him and his eyes light up. "So what do you have now?" he asked me curiously.
"Biology and then double English," I told him and if it was possible his smile grew wider.
"Seriously? Same here! We must be in the same class. Come on, I'll bring you to class, and maybe every other class?" he suggested. I laughed at the hopefulness in his voice.
"Sure," I replied laughing still. I grabbed my books and shut my locker. I followed John down the long hall-way. I was continuously getting looks from hopeful looking boys and jealous looking girls, it was kind of bitter-sweet as I was never liked or popular in High School, maybe this whole school wasn't such a bad idea.
"So how do you know the Cullen's?" asked John curiously. I ran through the story in my mind: I was adopted by Carlisle and Esme over the summer but I could only come and live with them now due to some legal problems.
"I'm kind of the new addition, Dr and Mrs Cullen adopted me a while back but there were some problems so I only now got to come and live with them," I smiled at John; I was a pretty good liar.
"Oh. What happened to your real parents?" We never went through a story for that. Time to improvise.
"Em, I never knew my Dad and my Mum died giving birth- so I've been in care pretty much all my life," I lied, well at least half lied.
"Oh-, well here we are," John said a little quickly. And we walked into the Science lab. The entire lesson kind of passed as a blur, I couldn't help but think about Seth and how he is lying in a bed in the Cullen's and I should be there with him, to keep him company. School is so frustrating!
Before I knew it, lunch had arrived. I met with Edward, Emmet, Jasper, Alice and Rosalie as planned outside the dining hall. They asked the normal "how is your first day going?" and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
"Who's that guy you were talking to this morning?" Emmet asked, nudging me playfully.
"You saw that, huh? It was nobody, just a guy," I mumbled. I noticed a trio of girls around Edward's age, staring at us. Two of the girls were pointing at us and telling the third girl, who was sitting in the middle, our names. It was slightly stalker-ish but I didn't really care. We sat down at a table by the window of the canteen and talked amongst ourselves, but Edward was continually staring at the third girl, the girl in the middle. It was weird it was as if he was trying to read her mind, but couldn't. I soon clicked on to that's exactly what he was doing. I noticed that the rest of us had picked up on this and all at once we kicked Edward hard in the shin from under the table.
"Jeez guys!" he winced. Five Vampire full-force kicks at once can hurt, even a Vampire.
"Sorry you were going all goo-goo eyes on us," snickered Emmet. Then the bell signalled for the end of lunch and we got up, Edward still hadn't taken his eyes from the girl, it was as if he had imprinted upon her, but we all know that is impossible unless you're a shape-shifter. I left the group and walked to my locker to grab my books before class. When I got there I was greeted by the smiling face of John.
"Hey Lisa," he smiled at me.
"Hey" I replied not really sharing his enthusiasm. "So yeah I was just wondering, if you and I could- well if we could-," he began but trailed off. "Go on a date?" I finished for him, flatly. "Yeah," he said shyly.
"Look John, your sweet but I have a boyfriend, and even if I didn't, it would still be no," I stated truthfully and walked away from his crushed expression. I met Emmet snickering in the hall-way; he had his arm around Rosalie protectingly, he mouthed 'nicely done' to me and winked. I glared at him and walked away.
The drive home, couldn't have taken any longer. As soon as we drove into the drive-way we could smell the scent of wolves.
This will be fun.
